As part of the Indian Army’s initiative to foster the spirit of national integration across the country, school children from Chieswema village of Nagaland visited Indian Military Academy (IMA) on Monday. A team comprising of 20 students and three teachers led by the army officer-in-charge and three Army personnel visited the premier training institution on the day.
The team interacted with the officiating commandant of IMA, Major General GS Rawat.
A communiqué from the IMA said, “This visit to the Academy provided a unique opportunity to all the children hailing from one of the remotest corners of our country to learn about the rich history, traditions and ethos of the Indian Army.
The children were highly motivated by the interaction conducted during the tour and many wanted to join the Armed Force and serve Country.
This kind of an interaction helps students get a real picture of the development-taking place in country and also the contribution of the Indian Army Officers and Soldiers, through their selfless service’’.
